Chorizo

The Ginger Pig

£10.05

Intense, smoky, rich and savoury, a hearty cooking sausage that will infuse sorts of potato dishes, pasta, Eggs and roast vegetables a real cook s treat. While all of our sausages are a labour of love, our smoked chorizo takes almost a week to produce. Cubes of pork shoulder and belly are mixed with salt, paprika, garlic, black pepper and caraway, then left to cure over four days to encourage the flavours deep into the meat. The cured pork is then minced and filled into natural casings, before being smoked over oak for 18 hours. The end result is a bold and generous smoked sausage, with flecks

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as GINGER PIG LIMITED, number 03971587. Checked 2026-09-06.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
